2.5year old with "lump" in vein

On the lower right side of my toddler's neck there is a small pea size "lump" or bulge in the vein.  I noticed it several months ago and was going to wait for his next check up to discuss with his dr but that isn't for a few months and I don't know if this needs more immediate attention.  It does not cause him any pain, and it's only visible when he is crying or turns his head a certain way and is only on the right side.

It's not hard , I can't feel anything in his neck, it just pops up in the middle of the vein. I have taken pictures of it but I can't find anywhere that I can post them.
